    A very popular eatery, with a friendly and lively environment. The music was very loud, but so was the chatter from the many patrons enjoying themselves. Service was prompt and a good value.

    This was my first time at DLeña, and I took my partner here for a late Valentines Day dinner date. We both had an AMAZING experience, food was perfect, our server (Jeff H) was very attentive and had amazing vibes ! The atmosphere was very romantic, and we really enjoyed the consistent service of water, removal of finished dishes, and making sure we had everything we needed. I will be back with a group of 7 for bottomless brunch next month !!!

    The food was superlative; the service was attentive without being obsequious or smothering. Our waiter was extremely helpful with explaining dishes that were unfamiliar and with providing genuinely useful comparisons for levels of sweetness, pungency, etc. Charming ambience and a truly enjoyable pre-theatre dining experience. Will definitely be back, would recommend wholeheartedly.
